(Transfer from sports arena+)
Sports Weekly Special Correspondent Yang Jian
Two overtimes, witnessed England and Italy meeting Wembley, and also witnessed Southgate and Mancini returning to the old track: the former retreated after losing the ball for the first time this year, and finally gave up the wretched counter-attack flow and sacrificed it. It is considered an efficient offensive football; and after the previous five games have been smooth, facing Spain, which played in the best form of this year, the Italian team regained their defensive counterattack and relied on tenacity to wear away opponents who wanted to solve the battle in 90 minutes. In the semifinals where the fault tolerance rate was extremely low, England and Italy gave up their regular routines and returned to the more familiar self. Temporary transfer is absolutely necessary, but as a representative of the aggressive and unconventional team of this European Cup, which top-tier team will witness the final victory in the final?
Strike the iron into sex vs. more flowers
The scene depends on the offense, and the performance depends on the defense. In the previous 6 games, both England and Italy have shown convincing defensive standards: the Three Lions only lost their first goal this morning, but they still maintained a goalless game. Proud record. Although the Italian team has conceded 2 more goals than England, it has never fallen behind since winning 6 games. Considering that the opponents Belgium and Spain in the quarter-finals and semi-finals are obviously stronger, and the team mainly plays offensive football. , The defensive level is actually more worth looking at.
But on the offensive end, the two sides showed a different situation: England is highly dependent on Kane and Sterling this year. It was not until the quarter-finals that the names of Maguire and Henderson appeared on the scorer list, but both of them were Grabbing a spot in the set ball is not a regular play. The inefficiency of the Three Lions in sports battles has caused home fans to be in their throats more than once.
Compared with England’s “strengthening ability”, Italy, which leads the top 24 with 12 goals and 2 goals with 5, has a more average output. Although the team does not have the super firepower points of the three lions striker and the double evil level, but the East Not bright in the west, under the dynamic and high-speed offensive, everyone can be competent for the last shot, covering the entire range of the front of the big restricted area, making it even more difficult for opponents to deploy. More importantly, compared to Southgate’s only outcome theory, the Italian team emphasizes both performance and process. Mancini’s team seldom took the lead and began to grind their feet. It is the normal state of the blue shirts. Both Turkey and Switzerland in the group stage have experienced how the blue shirts “kill you while you are sick”.
What will the two teams look like on final night? Perhaps the biggest lesson for the Italians is not to be overly conservative, and the timing allows the attack to be attacked: In the 2000 European Cup final, the Italian team with heavy defenses from the low position, with Delvecchio’s first record, almost suffocated France, if not Piero Two times to spit cakes, Vertod and Trezeguet are in vain no matter how brave they are; in the 2012 European Cup final, Italy, which conceded prematurely, was forced to abandon the established ideas of anti-revolutionary defense. As a result, Motta suffered an early injury and retreat. In the meantime, he was beaten up by Spain and was helpless.
The ultimate form of superstitiousness is wretched
For England, Southgate played too cautiously, and although he pushed himself to the crater in the group stage, but three consecutive rounds of promotion has allowed Suo Shuai to go straight to the world, considering Sterling The headed Happy Football Team, even if they are sitting on the home court, the Three Lions appearing in the Wembley finals, there is still a high probability that the Tigers will not make the hole, expecting opponents to make mistakes and make a sneak attack on the set ball.
Since the group stage, the eight champions have been divided into two completely different factions in terms of their attitudes to the game. Among them, Italy is the leader, Belgium and the Netherlands, which advocating offense, can be classified as enterprising teams; and it is natural that the teams are struggling to flow. The UK and France are the top priority, as well as Germany in certain periods of time. But except for the successful meeting of the two great masters, the rest of the strong will inevitably show up on the road to the knockout: the Dutch team scored the top 24 in the group stage, but when the Czech team’s defense was slightly higher, they could not output and took the lead in opening the group. The first one was counterattacked by the third group. Belgium relied on a defensive counterattack to deplete the more aggressive Portugal, but they did not have a second good luck. They were exhausted and limited in depth, and they were finally taken advantage of by their opponents in front of the Italian team and failed.
And the exit of the superb team is more of a taunt by onlookers: the German group stage finale, the passive play that spent time in the corner flag area at the end of the group stage, has already triggered a reputation headed by Ballack. The group ridiculed the chaos in the face of England’s loss, making Love’s curtain call show even impossible to “remove the respect”. As for France, it even beats ten thousand people: Facing Switzerland lost 2 goals in a row in the final stage, many main players were reproduced verbatim. The team’s arrogant, conceited and panicked nature, how can there be? The slightest world championship aura? The ultimate form of superstitiousness is wretched, stronger than the Gallic rooster, and it has not escaped this law.Return to Sohu to see more
